Hello! First off, I would like to apologize for not posting a new chapter recently. Been kind of busy. We have three projects due within two weeks. :(
second of all, our group got admitted into the science fair! So exciting! It's my first time since I was in Australia a year ago. They don't have science fairs.
But anyways, the chapter!
"Hello?" I called out, looking all around me for my friends or Mr. Hendbert. My voice echoed towards the mountains. Suddenly, I was blinded by a flash and Mr. Hendbert appeared in front of me. I breathed a sigh of relief and beamed. However, Mr. Hendbert had a serious expression.
"We're leaving you here." He stated.
My mouth fell open. "But...why?!" I exclaimed.
"You said I wasn't your favorite teacher. So I don't care about you. Bye bye." He explained, and disappeared as fast as he had appeared.
I was too speechless to say anything. My legs collapsed under me and I dropped to the floor.
"Did that just happen?" I asked out loud. "They left me!" A few tears trickled out. "They really left me! What did I ever do to them?" I complained to myself.
After crying for a few more minutes, I got up and started looking for some food to eat. I met this penguin, or at least I think it was a penguin climbing this really big mountain. He saw me and climbed back down the mountain, not that he climbed up very far.
"Are you ok? Did you cry? What are you?" The red penguin bombarded me with questions. I figured my eyes were probably really red from the crying.
"I'm fine." I say to the penguin. "I'm a polar bear, from the Arctic Circle." I tell him. I don't know why I should be telling this stranger so much, but even a penguin will keep me company.
"The Arctic Circle? Where's that?" The penguin asks with a confused look. "I'm Klittnitey, but you can call me Klutzy." Klutzy held out his flipper, or whatever they called it.
"The name's Herbert." I introduced myself, shaking his flipper. "And I have no idea where the Arctic Circle is relative to...to...umm..."
"This is Club Penguin." Klutzy interrupts.
"Yeah, whatever. Do you own this island? You're the only one that was climbing the mountain." I question my new friend.
"No, no. I was teased too much by my friends, so I decided to live on the tallest mountain, away from everyone." Klutzy explained. "I wanted to plan something that will get revenge on them for what they did."
"Are those penguins really that mean?" I ask curiously.
"YES! You won't believe what they did to me!" Klutzy yelled, clenching his fists, or was it still called a flipper? Mr. Hendbert never taught us about penguins. Either way, I decided not to ask questions.
"I can help you get revenge, if you want." I offered.
"Yes! Ok, follow me up the tallest mountain." Klutzy bounced excitedly towards the mountain, he took out a grappling hook and began climbing up. I tried my best to heave myself up.
"Dude, you need to exercise more." Klutzy commented to me as he breezed up the mountain. I glared at him but kept my mouth shut. I finally heaved myself up and followed the short penguin to this cave. He showed me a complicated looking machine and explained, "This is what I have been working on. This will turn all the penguins into any animal I want. Isn't that genius?" (Pinkia often said this. "That's genius" she would say.)
I nodded. "However, you still need a few parts. You're missing the opening, the source of energy, and a power cable. All essential."
He looked at me. "You learnt a lot in the Arctic Circle, didn't you?" He commented. I just smiled and started to fiddle with the machine. I removed some unnecessary sections and replaced them with others. I still had some things to do come nighttime, so I slept on the stone floor.
The next morning, I began working again. Klutzy came out of his room with a donut in his flipper. He wolfed it down as he went to his desk and continued making plans. I sat on the floor and tweaked the machine. After about 15 minutes, Klutzy sent me out to collect some materials. My first story was this place called the Lighthouse. I needed cream soda, which I have never heard of. Using a detailed description and a picture, I collected the barrels of cream soda. This blue penguin stopped me as I was about to leave.
"Hi! How are you? What are you doing? I love your costume! Can we be buddies? Where do you live? Are you new? I've never seen you before! Would you like a tour?" The blue penguin bombarded me with questions.
"Go away." I growled.
"Why? You not like me? I throw great parties! Do you want a party? Actually, I have a better idea. TOOTING COMPETITION EVERYONE!" The penguin screamed to all the penguins nearby and within several seconds, everyone started farting. I pinched my nose and slipped away from the crowd.
"Gee, these penguins are annoying." I muttered under my breath as I climbed back up the mountain.
After some finishing touches on the machine, it was ready.
"Pretty good." Klutzy praised as he examined the machine. I beamed as I leaned on the big, shiny machine. My paw accidentally pressed the big, red, activate button. A beam of yellow shot towards Klutzy just as he peeked inside the hole. My mouth flew open in shock as I gaped at the sight that beheld me.
What did Herbert see? What happened? Well, you will have to find out in the next chapter! I will see you then! :)
That's all for today! I have a new poll on my profile. It's pretty interesting. The question is: Who do you think hates Herbert the most?
